currently reading tales of nu earth omnibuses. i'll grab the game

I guess I should be happy with how they've handled the comic, but you'd think Rebellion would have done more with it on the game side of things. A shitty Dredd game, Rogue Trooper, and then nothing for 7 years seems like a missed opportunity.

Yeah it would be nice, but I think it would be really hard to really capture the inspired insanity I'm finding in these old Warrior / 2000AD comics onto a video game. Weirdly enough, Marlow Briggs has really nailed it for me. It's funny, it's dark, it's full of insane set pieces and it's very episodic.

I'd have thought a Strontium Dog game would have been interesting, but if they wanted something more ground to earth they could have a game based on the recent Dredd film. Given how hard that bombed it's likely that none of the 2000AD properties have any pull with the public so it's probably just as well I don't get to make any decisions at Rebellion.

Anyway, Rogue Trooper deal is live if you still want it.

So I've installed Titan Quest and Immortal Throne again and I've run into the weirdest issue. It doesn't download the text files if you install the English version. Not sure if that's just an issue for non-US accounts, but the whole folder is missing. A user has even made a guide on how to fixt it.

Switching to German created the folder and downloaded the text file properly. Switching back to English removes it again. This is so weird.

The DREDD movie bombed, or the game based on it bombed? I have no insight on either, as neither had any heat at all here in Japan.

Is the Rogue Trooper game any good?

archnemesis · « **Reply #4629 on:** November 29, 2013, 05:15:44 AM »

The game is quite old now, but I enjoyed Rogue Trooper when it was new despite never having read any of the comics. It's a third-person shooter that you'll beat in 6 hours.

The movie absolutely cratered. Hasn't been a Dredd game for about a decade.

Like Archnemesis says, the game is quite old but you can still get a kick out of it if you're familiar with the comic, otherwise I'd suggest saving your cash for something more recent. You could do worse for $1.50 though.

Eric P · « **Reply #4632 on:** November 29, 2013, 10:47:19 AM »

I'm finding Rogue Trooper to be a bit of fun. I've played it for about 2 hours and it starts off during the Quartz Massacre, so you play through Rogue Trooper's "origin" story. I like the salvage and upgrade method for getting ammo and equipment. Also the interjections from the biochips of your fallen comrades stands true to how they feel in the comics (still hilarious that they're names are Bagman, Gunnar and Helm).

The Dredd game looks horribad so i didn't even bother. The dream game is of course an open world game that just gives you various cases to work while eventually leading up to something like The Apocalypse War done by Volition in full on tongue in cheek Saint's Row mode.

Chronology function: Relive the change taking place in Spandau between 1986 and 1994! OMSI 2 now replicates the exciting years following the German reunification and all the innovations and route expansions (line 137 to Falkensee) that came along with it. This function also allows temporary changes to maps or routes caused by construction sites or special buses.

Quote

Explore the new omnibus line 5 covering a total distance of 12 km from the subway station Ruhleben to the psychiatric clinic Spandau. Thanks to the newly added chronology function you´ll not only be able to drive through Spandau in 1986, but also to relive the changes taking place in Spandau between 1986 and 1994.

Enjoy the charm of the 80s and 90s and find out how the period after the fall of the Berlin Wall was. And this all at wheel of a double-decker or articulated bus.

I hope there's a mission where you drive a bus through the Berlin Wall.

It's one of those games that delivers on atmosphere in this immense way that games simply don't do anymore (like throwing you head first into the deep end of cybermancy) but it's SEVERELY limited by the Source engine. In concept it's supposed to be akin to Deus Ex but playing it as anything but a mediocre shooter with some neat periphery stuff, like the turn-based RPG style hacking system, leaves a ton to be desired.

Basically it's a really ambitious C-minus kinda game.

What's wrong with Galactrix? I already got both because, well, a buck (less some card monies) but I'm curious.

Trent Dole · « **Reply #4655 on:** January 14, 2014, 02:26:50 AM »

Well the game they made afterwards was called Puzzle Quest 2, that should answer your questions about quality. For a buck it's not terrible, just not as good as it could/should be.

magus · « **Reply #4656 on:** January 14, 2014, 05:18:54 PM »

i still liked galactrix,there was less stuff to do compared to the original but you still had enough customization option and reason to dick around... plus the thing with the gravity board was sweet

but puzzle quest 2? man that one is horrible,i don't even know how they fucked it up that bad,marvel puzzle quest is a mess too

Rufus · « **Reply #4657 on:** January 15, 2014, 05:12:34 AM »

Puzzle Quest 2 is incredibly boring. I didn't much care for Galactrix either because I found it difficult to predict how the pieces would move.

ac2 is when the series first hit its stride, so start with that. i just started liberation and although its fun you can definitely tell its a budget handheld title.

It might actually be better to give Liberation a shot first because after 2 and Bro you'll probably be done with the series.

A three part visual novel set in the far future on the moon, 16 years after humans have begun to colonize it. A young boy named Haru has been chasing his wildest dream. His dream is to stand where no man has stood before, and in order to do so he needs capital, a ludicrous amount of capital. What better place to get that amount of capital by using the stock market? There are two key rules that govern the stock market.

The first rule: Never take a loss.
The second rule: Never forget the first.

Only those who follow these rules are able to obtain enormous wealth...
